Self taught gen-xers with senior dev/pm exp. Where's my imposter syndrome team?

tldr: it's been a few years since I've run into anyone in the pool without a degree.

quixotic history aside, how rare is it to get contract work as sendev, devops(sysop ftw) or mid-pm at some F50 houses? My offers are usually about 60% of CS holders... but I'd rather do than don't. Could just be the market in Vancouver, probably a skill issue.
